Apple Tarts Infused with SKYY Infusions Ginger
Serves
4
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. SKYY Infusions Ginger
1/3 cup and 0.5 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 cup Apple Cider or Apple Juice
1 tbsp. Cider Vinegar
1 lb. Small Gala Apples (about 4; left unpeeled)
1 Frozen Puff Pastry Sheet (from a 17 1/4-oz package),
thawed
3 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
Procedures:
1. Preheat
oven to 425°F. Cook 1/3 cup sugar in a dry, 10-inch
heavy skillet over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it
begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally
with a fork, until sugar is melted into a pale golden
caramel. Tilt skillet and carefully pour in cider and
vinegar (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Simmer
over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until
caramel is dissolved.
2.
While syrup simmers, cut apples into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
Add apple slices to hot syrup in skillet, gently tossing
to coat. Remove from heat and let stand, stirring occasionally,
until apples are wilted by syrup, 5 to 10 minutes. While
apples stand, roll out puff pastry sheet into a 12-inch
square on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling
pin. Cut into quarters, forming 4 (6-inch) squares and
brush off excess flour from both sides.
3.
Transfer squares to a large, shallow baking pan, overlapping
if necessary (squares will fit without touching after
edges are folded in later). Drain apples in a sieve set
over a bowl (save the syrup), then place apple slices
decoratively on each square, leaving a 3/4-inch border
all around. Fold border over apples along edges, pinching
edges together as necessary, then dot tops of apples with
a total of 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle with remaining
1/2 tablespoon sugar. Bake tarts until apples are tender,
pastry is puffed, and edges and undersides are golden
brown, 25 to 30 minutes. While tarts bake, boil reserved
syrup in skillet with SKYY Infusions Ginger and remaining
2 tablespoons butter until thickened and reduced to about
1/3 cup. Brush or drizzle hot syrup over tarts. Serve
with vanilla ice cream.
